The T&Peers have been preaching certain things that match up quite well with Sharia Law. We know the Bushies have a great relationship w the Sunni Oil Billionaires,but,adopt their religious principles? Oil is in Repuglicant's veins but this is ridiculous. Check out the poster for similarities.

The 4 Best Satirical Takedowns of Tom Cotton’s Letter to Iran — Ranked!
March 14, 2015Marc Belisle News


Sometimes the best way to illustrate the absurdity of politics is to mock it. Tina Fey’s “Pew! Pew!” caricature of Sarah Palin defined her as John McCain disastrously unleashed her on the nation. In the eerie media hush that followed September 11th, satirical newspaper The Onion captured the moment brilliantly, with the banner headline: “Holy Fucking Shit: Attack on America.” The brazen recklessness of the Republican Senate reaching out to a foe to undermine nuclear nonproliferation is difficult to capture with straight reporting. Comedy writers to the rescue! Here, from the interconnected network that kids are calling “the internet” are the four pithiest mockeries of Tehran Tom’s letter to Iran, from best to bestest.

4. An Open Letter to 47 Republican Senators of the United States of America from Iran’s Hard-Liners

This detailed ‘letter from Iran’ comes to us from Slate. Slate? Yes, that online offshoot of the Washington Post, through editorializing against center left positions from a center left position combined with an endless supply of whodathunk observations of just about anything, tries mightily to be all things to all people, but is not known for satire. But this was a good showing by author William Saletan, who effectively wraps an analysis of uncomfortable similarities between the mullahs and the GOP in a well crafted joke.

The letter imagines that Senator Tom Cotton’s snarky and condescending suggestion that Iran doesn’t understand America’s Constitution is actually taken seriously in Tehran. The Mullahs are enlightened, and what they realize is that they and the GOP are not so very different.

“…your letter has prompted us to undertake a broader study of the American political system. What we have learned has opened our eyes. For 35 years, we have treated you as an adversary. Our intelligence agencies told us that your culture and your political system were radically different from ours. We now understand that we were misled. Your country is much like ours. Indeed, your Republican Congress is much like our revolutionary Islamic councils. We are brothers.”



3. An Open Letter From Iran to Sen. Tom Cotton

This is the most personal attack of the bunch, and picks on Cotton from a military perspective. It comes from the Duffel Blog, a gem that most civilians are probably unaware of. The blog pokes satirical fun at the military with a crew of writers who clearly are all too familiar with the military. With gags ranging from mundane army procedure to national issues, it features headlines like, “Philosopher NCO Poses Age-Old Logical Paradox: ‘Are You Calling Me a Liar?’” and “Army Replaces Air Assault Badge With Sexual Assault Badge.” In this article, the comedian impugns Cotton’s military service in light of his apparent disloyalty to the US.

The ‘letter’ begins,

“We received your letter from March 5. Our English is not the best, but we believe we understand your main points. Thank you for your interest in joining the Revolutionary Guard. We know you appreciate the many exciting opportunities the Guard provides to fight the Zionist-Crusader alliance while awaiting the coming of the blessed Mahdi, while also earning you money for college.”

2. Iran Offers to Mediate Talks Between Republicans and Obama

The New Yorker’s Andy Borowitz is the most high profile satirist on this list. He is a master at a literary deadpan style of news commentary, telling the truth with the silliest of fibs. After Netanyahu’s speech to Congress, designed to undermine negotiations, Borowitz wrote the headline: “Boehner Invites Man Who Hated Obama in High School to Address Congress.” Borowitz’s faux reporting on the Republican letter to Iran deftly reflects the situation back onto the US. It imagines that the Ayatollah receives the letter and is deeply concerned about the partisan divide in America.

“He invited Obama and the Republicans to meet in Tehran to hash out their differences and called on world powers to force the two bitter foes to the bargaining table, adding, ‘It is time to stop the madness.’”
Drum roll!

1. I-ran and I-raq: what’s in a letter?

This one takes first place for several reasons. First of all, unlike the American writers pretending to be Iranians, this one was written for The Guardian in Iran by Iranian, Ebrahim Nabavi. His work is by far the most courageous of the group, as his publications are frequently censored, and he has been jailed twice for mocking the wrong people. It provides a valuable glimpse at the perspective of an Iranian comedian trying to make sense of American foreign policy (and chillingly, apparently coming to the conclusion that it’s bonkers). Second, it wins the Shakespeare award for double entendre, as the title plays on both meanings of the word ‘letter.’ It mocks the letter Republicans wrote to Iran, and their confusion over a single letter of difference between Iraq and Iran. The article imagines that Tom Cotton is summoned onto MSNBC to defend the letter. The interview gets heated when the host differentiates between Muslim countries. Cotton, flustered, puts the interviewer in his place:

Looks Pretty close to me


What a joke pot


Why did Bucheney's start all this mess that we have today in the ME

Kevyn

You don't get it, just because the stuff and values are the same it is different because our xenophobic religious fundamentalists believe in Jeasus and are Rightious while they are brown skinned and are evil xenophobic religious fundamentalists who believe in much the same stuff but a different prophet. Besides, most of our problems can be solved by blowing up Muslums and trying to confuse us with an explanation of which ones are allied with who and all of that other crap just muddies the water. We can blow up a bunch more of them than they can us and this is all that matters because we are good and they talk funny and wear weird clothes and all run around chopping off people's heads so just start blowing them up.

rjoeholl

Speaking of weird clothes, when are you going to change your blouse?

U obviously know little to nothing about the T.E.A. party.
If you like big government, high taxes, non-patriots then you wouldn't care for us.
You are probably 30 years old and still living at home...

You could have stopped after you said he knew little or nothing. He and the other libs just write this stuff to try and tick people off. It comes from too much Obama koolaid. Chatty Jackie just has someone pulling the string on the back of his neck again. Ignore them and their repeat of LWNJ talking points.

Did a doggie piss on you again today?
Poor thing

Can you believe what the GOP did this week? I mean, where do you even begin?

In just a few days, they gave us three very important reasons to start working TODAY to take back the Senate majority.

First, there was the unprecedented letter to Iran signed by 47-- yes, 47-- Republican Senators that had only one goal: to sabotage the president's negotiations aimed at preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.

It used to be that politics stopped at the water's edge. But today's GOP is so irresponsible, so reckless, so fueled by hatred for this president, that they would rather risk another war in the Middle East than help to build a lasting peace. It is truly shocking.

Second, there were the relentless and ridiculous and politically motivated attacks on Hillary Clinton's use of email while she was Secretary of State.

We know Hillary followed the letter and spirit of the law. We know that she is the first secretary to turn over emails -- 55,000 pages of them, in fact -- and has even asked the State Department to make them public. And we know the GOP is only going after her with this fake issue for one reason: They fear a Hillary Clinton run for the presidency -- because they know she will win.

Third, there was the GOP's attempt to sneak an outrageous abortion provision into a bipartisan bill to combat the trafficking of women and girls.

We're talking about the most vulnerable women you can imagine: women who have been trafficked like drugs, abused, and subjected to horrific conditions -- and the GOP wants to prevent them from accessing their constitutional right to end a pregnancy resulting from their enslavement. This was a new low.

Had enough? I sure have, and it is time for us to do something about it.

Tell me you're with me: Contribute $5 to PAC for a Change today and commit to taking back the Senate from Republicans in 2016!

Every American should now be committed to kicking the T&Peeers out. They are an embarrassment to this country and the world.

I wish I could tell you this week was an aberration. It wasn't. It was what we have come to expect since the GOP takeover in January.

Just 10 weeks. That is how long it took Republicans to show the country why it cannot afford their reckless and extreme leadership.

In just 10 weeks, they've tried to deport DREAMers.

In just 10 weeks, they've threatened to shut down our Department of Homeland Security to stop the President from fixing our broken immigration system after they refused to do so.

In just 10 weeks, they've tried -- again -- to ram through approval of the Keystone XL pipeline.

And in just 10 weeks, they've made it clear the only way for us to stop their dangerous agenda is to take back the Senate in 2016.

Every thing is due to the repuglicA$$es

Jack2014

Well Reagan had none of the attributes you describe
Trickle down,my A$$ depression /recession more like it.
